My 1st gluten-free Dinner Party

So I hosted my 1st gluten-free dinner party on Sunday night for my family. Ok truth be told this was my first dinner party period. Not to toot my own horn (lol), but it was awesome!!!

For appetizers I had edamame (i know that doesn't count as cooking), shrimp cocktail (also doesn't count but hey everyone really liked both of these) and deviled eggs.

Then I made a simple but pretty salad.

For the main course I made Texas pork chops, gluten-free lasagna, sweet potatoes and green beans.

And for desert I made cheesecake with a crust using the graham crackers from the grainless baker. My stepmom actually said her crust was her favorite part of the cake!

All the food was incredible, and totally gluten free!

Hey Jillian

Way to go girl!!! I love it when we celiacs accomplish something (esp.Food) and it turns out to be good....it all sounded good to me....

I got my order from Joan, I haven't tried the E. muffins yet but I love the bagels & the nut bread..I made a breakfast sandwich with the bagel.Thanks so much for your help & recommending her stuff....

So you like the grainless baker graham crackers? I have tried many things from them but not the grahams...

Have a Merry Christmas

Congrats! It really seems to amaze people to serve them a full gluten free meal, but it really can be so simple.

I was actually just about to email you and see if you liked the bagels. I actually tried her english muffins (both the plain and cinnamon raisin) at a Westchester Celiac meeting that she was at, an if I didn't know they were gluten free I don't think there would be any way I would know. They were so incredible. You're going to love them. I definately am going to get them the next time I get her bagels.

I love the bagels either with tuna (makes a great lunch or quick, lazy dinner), or with veggie cream cheese. Mmmmm!!!

The graham crackers from the grainless baker are awesome. I don't buy that many gluten free cookies or sweets (I'm more of a cake person than a cookie person, and I bake a lot now), but these graham crackers have become a quick staple. They're cinnamon graham crackers so they satisy that sweet craving when you need it. So good!!

Alright and despite me saying I'm not a big cookie person, I also love they're butterfly cookies. They're like a linzer tarte cookie, but in a different shape. Delicious!

Kudos to you!

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
